Unai Emery had admitted that the imminent arrival of Nicolas Pepe is not likely to be the Gunners' last transfer of the summer, while also hinting that Laurent Koscielny's future could play an important part in potential incomings.
So far this summer Emery has brought in three players, with William Saliba, Dani Ceballos and Gabriel Martinelli all joining – although the former rejoined Saint-Etienne on loan for the upcoming campaign.
Nicolas Pepe's arrival is expected to be announced on Thursday, but one key issue of concern for Gunners fans is the lack of defensive reinforcements, an area that was made frighteningly obvious as Emery's side shipped 51 Premier League goals in 2018/19 for the second successive season.

Emery conceded after the Gunners' penalty win over Angers that the club are still keen on another addition, widely tipped to be Kieran Tierney, ahead of the 8th August deadline.
“We signed Ceballos, and we have a possibility with Pepe. We are looking for the possibility to improve, but only if we can take more steps in the squad," the Spaniard said on the club's official website.
“He's a very important player for us,” Emery added.
"We are speaking about the centre backs, but we have a lot of centre backs, we have good centre backs, and if we can sign one more centre back, it is because he is clearly better than we have."
